El Palacito Secreto - Merida Yucatan, Mexico - Maternity & Family Session

In the heart of Merida, Yucatan, lies a hidden gem – El Palacito Secreto. But beyond its walls of stone and mortar, lies something even more precious – the timeless memories of a family united in love.

Recently, I had the privilege of embarking on a journey to El Palacito Secreto with The Robinson family to capture their timeless moments through the lens of my camera.

From the moment we stepped foot into the courtyard of El Palacito Secreto, it felt like stepping back in time. The meticulously preserved architecture, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details, served as the backdrop for our maternity photoshoot that celebrated the family unit and the beauty of new life and the profound bond between mother and child.

Here are a few highlights from our session. Let me know what you think with a comment below. 

Cheers, Derrel

The Guild Inn Estate & Scarborough Bluffs Maternity Shoot | Laura and Giovanni

I was more than excited to shoot Laura and Giovanni's maternity shoot at The Guild Inn Estate. It was my first time there, and I must say, they came out exactly how I envisioned. We also shot at the Scarborough Bluffs, another breathtaking location. It's hard to believe that these two locations exist in Scarborough Ontario of all places. I shot their wedding back in 2016 (CLICK HERE to see their wedding) and we got EPIC images, so the pressure was on to produce the same level or epicness or to exceed it. I think we exceeded it. What do you think?

Scarborough Bluffs Maternity Shoot with Shaun and Michelle

Shaun and I go back about 20 years to our high school days in Scarborough. I had the privilege of shooting his and Michelle's wedding and their honeymoon photos in DR while I was shooting a wedding down there. Now Michelle is 37 weeks pregnant, expecting a little girl and I had the honor of shooting their awesome maternity shoot at the Scarborough Bluffs in Toronto Ontario. The thing I love about the Bluffs is, it doesn't look like Toronto. It's like you've escaped to a tropical island away from all the fast paced city life. I brought the DJI Phantom 3 drone along with my DSLR to capture some aerial shots and I think they came out amazing. We had such a fun shoot. Let me know what you guys think of this collection.

Cheers.
